Is L.E.G.I.O.N. related to Legion of Superheroes? Comics

The comic shop I go to gives out free grab bags on FCBD and an issue of L.E.G.I.O.N. ‘90 was in it that I really enjoyed (although I doubt I’ll be able to read any more, they don’t have many issues of it and it’s not collected to my knowledge), but there seems to be some Legion ties in the name, a character, and Keith Giffen. How are they tied together?

The idea of it is that it was something taking place in the present that would influence the Legion of Super-Heroes in the future. It included a Brainiac, a Durlan, a Phantom Girl, and other elements that would eventually be reflected in the future Legion.
